Great Diwali or Is it Another Dewalia
Diwali is indeed the festival of lights and colors in most parts of
India. The resplendent colorful decoration as well as the showy dresses that
folks wear is a delightful experience for any beholder. As legend says the all
powerful evil force in the form of Narakasura (Demon) has been ultimately
destroyed on this day by the Lord Vishnu.
Yet one wonders whether everything around speaks the essence of Diwali
or are there still a sizable part of the population trying to eke out a
living. What about those that are already seeing the dark sides of the evil of
which they have neither designed nor have seen it coming. Many of these
innocent lots must have declared ‘Dewalia’ instead of Diwali. The word
‘Dewalia’ means bankruptcy in Hindi as they would say in the northern parts of
the country while Diwali means festival of lights. If somebody becomes bankrupt
they might say ‘Bhukharam ko Dewalia ghoshid kar diya gaya’. It means that
Bhukaram has been declared bankrupt.
Let’s not hope too pessimistically about such bad turn of events as
this is a good day. But one cannot help wondering with negative IIP data,
Export sluggishness and industrial production falling below expectation whether
we should take things a little more seriously.

Word Secularism is Now Synonymous with Hostility
Secularism in the modern sense has less meaning due to the frequency at
which it is occurring and the way it is being used to place an argument before
the public. The actual literary meaning has been lost and buried in the
casualness of general behavior and the loose talk that go around it. There are
people who even think that the word ‘secularism’ is itself assumed a biased
tone in it.
Hence, it is no wonder that word ‘secularism’ is being used with
different connotation in today’s politics. Thus, there is need for urgent
change in the manner in which it being spoken and read. As is seen nowadays
secularism in the modern sense should therefore mean recognizing the merits
only of differentiation between communities as a positive cultural difference
that could be exchanged among various groups to foster a better lifestyle and
well being. It is apparent that there should be no thrust from one cultural
group on another and each group entity remains apart only on their religious
beliefs and nothing else.
We are unnecessarily trying to make the whole of mankind into a
homogeneous lot which obviously brings a lot of friction to the fore and is
wastage of energy. Rather, we ought to change the levels of perceptions of
people to a common positive ground on economic, society goals, education of the
masses, improving living conditions, gender equality and increasing the overall
health and sanitation. By focusing on these we take religion as an individual
effort to spiritual solution.
I had stated that the world today is a linguistically and religiously a divided wonderland in my article Mystery of the Mysterious Inflation and Organic and Inorganic Growth which you can assess at www.econobusichange.blogspot.in
It is utterly irritating to hear the noise ‘secularism’ every now and
then.
